I had a lost at the differences between 2.5.4 and 2.6.1 for when it comes to moderation and I saw the new function. It is interesting that it refers to these hooks:

bbp_bypass_check_for_moderation

bbp_bypass_check_for_blacklist

Apparently you can use these hooks and if they return true it will stop performing the moderation check. I don’t know how to implement these hooks, and I am not telling anyone they should implement them. Moderation is a good thing when ti works as intended.

I had a look at my own WordPress Settings | Discussion Settings which is where I understand this gets all the behaviour from and my blacklist and whitelist are empty anyway. But I do have another checkbox ON:

Comments must be approved

I had that on because in my website posts where comments are allowed I wanted control. I don’t know if it is this checkbox that is the cause of every topic and reply needing moderation.

That said, in the same settings page in WP it has options for sending out an email whenever a comment goes into moderation and that is not honoured. So maybe none of these settings are taken into account?

wordpress 5.3
bbpress 2.6.1

Hello,
I am noticing in the last few days and that is even prior to upgrading to wordpress 5.3 the bbpreply widget which lists the recent replies does not list the replies CLEARLY as it used to.

After the listing there is line now added next to all new replies that says”<span class=”dashicons dashicons-visibility wvrbbp-fav-sub” style=”font-size:80%;vertical-align:middle;”></span>”.

This added line obviously is taking away the clean clear quality of the webpage making it look ugly like a coded page. Please advise. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,

I’m using wordpress version 5.3–pt_PT and BBPress 2.6.1.

When i create a new topic, in a mobile, the text appears only on the right side of the creator identity. That makes that each line is very short and the text is extended in a lot of lines. The text does not occupy the area below. Please see in this link:

Que carro comprar

I would be really grateful for some help to solve this as mobile users are each time more.

Thanks!!

Hi guys,

We seem to have an issue when nested/threaded replies are allowed. Instead of having the replies neatly appearing one under another, they seem to be squished all together. Please take a peek at the screenshot in hopes of it better explaining the issue at hand:
When threaded replies aren’t allowed, everything looks peachy fine (of course!) and the comments just fall neatly in line.

We have heavily modified the CSS so that we could get the visuals as our client requested, however we have only noticed this issue after updating WordPress, the theme and bbPress (we’re not sure which one of the three, if any, could have been the source of the issue at hand).

If anything has any suggestions or if you need any additional info to offer any insight, please let us know!

Thank you in advance. 🙂

Hi,

im building a new WordPress political website using the “Candidate” theme. Also, Im considering adding Buddypress too. What we are trying to figure out is how to add a full forum to a page, listed in the navigation list using this theme. Will we need to have a theme package or some kind of template? I would prefer the page to match the others. Im trying to at least duplicate the forum i have already at http://www.fedupwithliberals.com, which is currently a Simple Machines forum. I have seen Buddypress using the Boss theme, it seems pretty complex, but would make a nice stand-alone site. The link to the ‘Candidate” theme demo is http://velikorodnov.com/dev/candidate/home-v1/ . I would be happy with a nice full-featured forum on that site, but am wondering if i can add buddypress too? Would there be a bbpress template that can be added to the page made for the forum so the page will match the rest of the site?

Thanks,
delta5

IMO small icons among text looks very bad. IMO it would be better, if icons are on left like in XenForo forus.

See
https://www.sanaristikkofoorumi.net/wordpress/2019-11-16-13-40-47-www-sanaristikkofoorumi-net-58b4f9888eb8/

On the right side is a sidebar, where small icon is on the left like here in the freshness list ( I just don’t like that the position is not always the same.

It would be nice, if bbPress fourums could look as default more professional.

[Chuckie]

Thanks for your reply John. At the moment I do know enough about the mechanics of core WordPress functionality. Pity there is not a “php for dummies for WordPress” :).

I’m currently having this issue on one of my forum. I’m an administrator. I can’t type a reply in Visual, but I can type in the Text tab. Running bbPress 2.6.1 and WordPress 5.2.4 (bbPress updated automatically but the sysadmin has to get involved to update WP)

[Chris Taylor]

I upgraded to 2.6.1 and my topic replies are not being displayed. Debug toolbar shows that there are two database errors being thrown, both like this:

SELECT COUNT(wp_posts.ID)
FROM wp_posts FORCE INDEX (PRIMARY, post_parent)
LEFT JOIN wp_postmeta ON wp_postmeta.post_id = wp_posts.ID AND wp_postmeta.meta_key = '_bbp_reply_to'
WHERE 1=1 AND (wp_posts.ID = 76 OR wp_posts.post_parent = 76)
AND wp_posts.post_type IN ('topic', 'reply')
AND wp_postmeta.meta_key IS NULL
AND (wp_posts.post_status = 'publish')
ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date ASC

Table 'site_name.wp_posts' doesn't exist

The list of forums and topics works fine.

Like many WordPress installations I have a custom prefix for my database tables (“wp_****_”) and it appears that bbPress 2.6.1 is using that for some queries and not others.

[boberry]

Users and an Admin are not able to post replies to posts in the forums. Is anyone else experiencing that issue?

To @casiepa
Before 5.3, we used 5.2.4 WordPress.
bbpress is 2.5.14 is the last version.

Hello!
Is it possible to link WordPress user role with bbpress user role?
For example, I have users on WordPress who are “subscribers”, but if they stop paying they automatically go to “customers”.
I would like to automatically convert a “customer” in WordPress to “locked” in bbpress.
This is possible? how?
Thanks!!!

[Pascal Casier]

One last question @pipipi07: What was the previous version of WordPress you had?
thx.

[hyo1990]

Hi there,

I’ve updated the plugin BB Press to the latest version (2.6.1), but the subforums display situation isn’t solved (We have 2 forums (Defense of the ancients & Legion Tower Defense) with subforums associated – The 1st one displays them in a incorrect way, and the 2nd doens’t display at all)

Tried searching the previous topics, but coulnd’t find any information regarding it (after the release of 2.6.1)

Thanks in advance

Wordpress: version 5.3
BBPress: version 2.6.1
Website: https://firstbloodgaming.com/forums/ (which is the affected page)

[pipipi07]

If default=21, I was able to input 7 characters in Japanese!
Apparently, 18-20 can be up to 6 characters, 21-23 can be up to 7 characters, 24 can be up to 8 characters in Japanese. This was a new discovery!

When bbPress was changed to 2.6, wordpress was upgraded to 5.3 as well. As you say, it may have an impact. I will try a little more to find out what’s wrong.
For the time being, I decided to set 60 instead of 20.

Thank you for your cooperation!

[John James Jacoby]

Subforums are not listed.

The subforums not being listed will be fixed in 2.6.1.

A few more questions:

• Using any caching plugins?
• Using any SEO plugins that might be interacting with CSS files?
• Using a right-to-left language?
• Overriding any constants? (WP_CONTENT_DIR, WP_PLUGIN_DIR, WP_THEME_DIR, etc…)

Anything else about your WordPress installations you can share?

The only related change I can find, is: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3012

If you’re able to edit that file in bbPress directly, and revert it back, and test, that would be super helpful to confirm or disconfirm if that does it.

[John James Jacoby]

Different themes use different styling for different reasons.

If I recall correctly, Twenty Seventeen does not use the text-decoration attribute, but rather uses some kind of text-shadow or bottom-border. It’s a weird anomaly with how that theme decided to do things.

It’s nearly impossible for bbPress to work perfectly with all themes, but we do try to keep the default styling working well with the themes that come bundled with WordPress.

This should be solvable with a bit of custom CSS. I’ll create a Trac ticket and see if we can bring this back for you with this theme specifically.

[John James Jacoby]

This will be fixed in bbPress 2.6.1.

See: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3280

[John James Jacoby]

This will be fixed today in 2.6.1. Sorry for the trouble!

See: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3232

Hi,

I’m currently using BuddyPress, bbPress, and Image and video gallery from Google Drive (all are latest updated). The plugin “Image and video gallery from Google Drive” provides a shortcodes is [sgdg path=”MyPath”]. I tried installing “bbPress – Do Shortcode” and it worked. However, the javascript file for loading is missing. Anyone can help me out please?

[stevehammatt]

When I upgraded to bbPress 2.6.0, the links in my forums (e.g. topic names, links in posts) don’t show up underlined any more like they used to. So they’re not obviously links any more, which seems to be a usability issue. This is with WordPress 5.3.

I haven’t changed anything to do with the theme/appearance.

[Pascal Casier]

If you change 20 to 21, are you able to put 7 Japanese characters?
Just thinking of the multibyte characters, Japanese characters might be using 3 characters.

If it works, then for now you could change from 20 to 60, but that would mean that somebody can put 60 English characters of course…

To be honest it seems strange that this happens because of the switch of bbPress as the functions in 2.5 and 2.6 look the same. Are you sure it’s not because of a switch of WordPress to a higher version or another change?

I have no other ideas unfortunately…

[sunspot10]

The new bbPress 2.6.0 update implemented yesterday breaks the forum index displayed with the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode.

1. The above shortcode used to display two levels, not one on bbpress 2.5.14 before the update.
2. The problem happens on three different sites, so it is not a plugin compatibility issue.
3. The problem was reported during the 2.6.0 development cycle but ignored:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/subforums-not-showing-after-upgrade-from-2-6rc5-to-2-6rc7/

4. The forums that are displayed are and always have been propertly set to display two levels in the index:

Showing parent forums and subforums (categories) in forum root: How?

What I would recommend is modifying bbpress to implement a parameter after the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode such as “showlevels=1-2” or the like. That way users can control how many levels of the hierarchy are displayed in the index.

This is clearly a bug in 2.6.0 that needs to be fixed. When will it be fixed?

[scabbrox]

Hello there

I’ve run into an issue with updating our website’s forum from 2.5.14 to 2.6.

We have been using a set of wp roles as additional forum roles on our site for about 2 years now to allow us to have more tiers of membership and administrator roles visible in the forums rather than the standard 5. This has worked fine up till now but when we apply the 2.6 update these roles are no longer recognised as additional forum roles, though they still exists as wordpress roles.

I’m not entirely sure how these roles were initially flagged as forum roles, but they were simply created by duplicating the existing forum roles and then renaming them.

I’ve checked the functions.file for our child theme and there’s nothing in there that would be assigning them so I’m assuming it’s because of differences in the capabilities-php file where some of the previous capabilities are listed as deprecated in 2.6.

Any idea how we can fix this as currently we’re unable to upgrade until we can retain the roles.

Thanks for your assistance in this matter.

[Tom]

I looked at my local dev version of my website, and just updated the plugins without updating to wordpress 5.3 and it broke, so its actually the BBPress plugin itself updating that broke itself?
